Privacy Policy

High Fives Charity

“High Fives Charity” operates a website at highfivescharity.org. It is High Fives Charity’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, High Fives Charity collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. High Fives Charity’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how High Fives Charity’s visitors use its website. From time to time, High Fives Charity may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

High Fives Charity also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on articles published. High Fives Charity only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to High Fives Charity’s websites choose to interact with High Fives Charity in ways that require High Fives Charity to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that High Fives Charity gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for membership at highfiveschairty.org to provide a username and email address.

Those who engage in transactions with High Fives Charity – by purchasing services, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, High Fives Charity collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with High Fives Charity. High Fives Charity does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

High Fives Charity may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, High Fives Charity may monitor the most popular pages and articles on the highfivescharity.org site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spammers. High Fives Charity may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, High Fives Charity does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Business Transfers

If High Fives Charity, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that High Fives Charity goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of High Fives Charity may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Any Ads appearing on our website may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by High Fives Charity and does not cover the use of cookies by any such advertisers.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted via the Akismet anti-spam service are saved on our servers unless they were marked as spam positive, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, High Fives Charity may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at High Fives Charity’s sole discretion. High Fives Charity encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.

Protection of Information

High Fives Charity discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that

(i) need to know that information in order to process it on High Fives Charity’s behalf or to provide services available at High Fives Charity’s websites, and

(ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using High Fives Charity’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. High Fives Charity will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.

Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, High Fives Charity discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when High Fives Charity believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of High Fives Charity, third parties or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of a High Fives Charity website and have supplied your email address, High Fives Charity may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with High Fives Charity and our services. We primarily use our website to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. High Fives Charity takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
